What the Record Establishes

  • The response ran an address query against one report and returned zero rows.
  • Four of the five requested record categories are not addressed by that report at all.
  • No custodian search certification accompanied the production.

What They Have Not Produced

  • The GovQA activity history for F267482 — every action, assignment, and timestamp.
  • Which custodians were tasked, and the search instructions they received.
  • Whether alternate address formats were tested, and whether each category even lives in the queried database.

A zero is only an answer if it answers the question that was asked. OEMC produced a spreadsheet whose visible face shows a standard location search for a June date range against an address wildcard, returning zero rows. The request had separately identified CAD and event records, 911 and 311 records, radio and telephone records, responding-agency records, and retention or system-audit records. One report was run. Five categories were asked about.

Zero rows is a query result, not a search narrative

A zero-row report may be perfectly accurate about the report it queried. It establishes nothing about which custodians were tasked, which systems were searched, whether the address was tested in alternate formats, whether the five categories share a database, or whether retention schedules had already aged records out. Those are the facts a records response is supposed to carry, and they are exactly what the produced spreadsheet does not carry.

The follow-up is deliberately narrow, and that is the point

The July 29 request does not re-argue the merits. It asks for the GovQA activity history, custodian assignments, search certifications, the report definition, execution metadata, and a category-by-category disposition. A Public Access Counselor request for review went out the same day. An agency that ran a real search can satisfy all of it from its own ticketing system.
